-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) Datum: Wed, 17 Nov 2021 10:56:07 +0800 Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Antwort an: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] � =================================================================================== The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) � May 16, 2022, Taormina (Messina), Italy � in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2022 � URL: https://icfec2022.eecis.udel.edu/ =================================================================================== We are delighted to invite you to the 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Taormina (Messina), Italy. � INTRODUCTION The number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is predicted to reach 38.6 billion by 2025. These connected devices, ranging from user devices to more complex systems, such as vehicles and power grids, are equipped with sensing, actuating, communication, processing, and storage capabilities, and they generate huge amounts of data of various types. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous IoT devices while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the IoT devices are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology closer to IoT devices, such as home routers, gateways, or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or to host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as “Fog/Edge computing”. � The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, to allow the usage of opportunistic and cheap computing, and to leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using edge resources, which require the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. New abstractions and extensions to current programming and storage models are necessary to allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven edge systems. Addressing security, privacy, and trust of the edge resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context of mobile, transient and hardware-constrained resources. The integration of edge computing and 5G will also bring new opportunities and unique challenges. Enabling machine/deep learning at the edge is critical for many applications. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and smart health need to be supported by fog and edge resources. � � CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: � * Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing * Mobility management in fog/edge computing * Distributed and federated machine learning in the fog and on the edge * 5G and fog/edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures * Programming models for fog/edge computing * Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing * Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing * Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog * Modeling and simulation of fog/edge environments * Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures * Innovative, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of fog/edge computing � � SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue. Papers should follow the IEEE template for conference proceedings. Authors should submit papers, written in English, electronically in PDF format and may not exceed 8 letter-size pages in length, including all figures, tables, and references.

But failure to succeed is not failure to progress and this workshop aims to create a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research in the area of pervasive computing. While the direct outcome of negative results might not contribute much to the field, the wisdom of hindsight could be a contribution itself, such that other researchers could avoid falling into similar pitfalls. We consider negative results to be studies that are run correctly (in the light of the current state of the art) and in good practice, but fail in terms of proving of the hypothesis or come up with no significance. The “badness” of the work can also come out as a properly but unfittingly designed data collection, or (non-trivial) lapses of hindsight especially in measurement studies. In this workshop, we invite submissions in different subtopics, including, but not limited to research in the fields of: * Studies with unconvincing results which could not be verified (e.g. due to lack of datasets) * Underperforming experiments due to oversights in system design, inadequate/misconfigured infrastructure, etc. * Research studies with setbacks resulting in lessons learnt and acquired hindsights (e.g. hypothesis with too limiting or too broad assumptions) * Unconventional, abnormal, or controversial results that contradict expectations of the community * Unexpected problems affecting publications, e.g. ethical concerns, institutional policy breaches, etc. * “Non-publishable” or “hard-to-publish” side-outcomes of the study, e.g . mis-trials of experiment methodology/design, preparations for proof-of-correctness of results, etc. ###Submissions### Paper submission will be managed via the EDAS system. The paper should not exceed 6 pages (overall, i.e., including references) in IEEE, 10pt font, 2-column format. For further information and a link to the submission system, please refer to perfail-workshop.github.io/2022. Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors at the workshop. The papers accepted in the workshop will appear and be indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore).

Wireless networking technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical part of modern life, be it for communication services, media distribution, or sensing and actuation services within the Internet of Things (IoT) context. Appropriate resource management, applications design, and architectural networking paradigms are necessary to provide users with high quality experience in multimedia communication and services. Edge computing and data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming essential tools to cope with the increasing diversity of connected devices and the plethora of new data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications requested by end-users. At the same time, the interoperability among IoT environments (including wearable computing and sensors), the network edge, and the cloud are leading towards an edge-cloud continuum that is expected to support a more efficiently diverse range of application domains and services. In this context, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding the behavior of such complex systems is of paramount importance. IEEE WoWMoM 2022 takes a broad view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking and applications. We solicit papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. We also welcome practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field trials, or real deployments.

CIoT provides a high-quality international academic and industrial exchange forum for experts and scholars in the field of intelligent systems, cloud computing and Internet of Things. The conference will be designed and prepared as an in person event. However, in the case of perduring traveling restrictions (official or de facto) during the conference dates due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be ready to convert the conference to a fully on-line event. We hope the conditions will allow for in-person participation, so we can enjoy face-to-face discussions and coffee breaks again. It would also give the opportunity to participants to visit the beautiful city of Marrakech. CIoT’22 is a conference focusing on the challenges of managing Internet of Things applications while considering the whole end-to-end architecture over the sixth generation of mobile networks (6G) and next-generation data center networking from cloud to the edge and IoT devices. The next generation of telecommunication networks is expected to support a growing number of smart terminals, such as cell phones, sensors and other connected objects, to provide real-time applications and to provide intelligence and trust embedded in network infrastructure. To meet these requirements, the 6G envisions the use of artificial intelligence, cloud and edge computing. The 6G network will absorb the billions of flows generated by things while considering the requested QoS and the cohabitation of M2M, M2H and H2M flows. Then, the flows will be processed in data centers and applications will exploit the extracted knowledge. The main objective of CIoT’22 is to address challenges of clouds and IoT systems from the sensors/machines to the end-users attached to the Cloud while considering the 6G network connecting both IoT and Cloud domains. Authors are invited to submit original contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere. Papers should be prepared using the IEEE 2-column conference style and are limited to 8 pages (full papers). They have to be submitted electronically in PDF format. Papers exceeding page limits, multiple submissions, and self-plagiarized papers will be rejected without further review. All other papers will sustain a thorough single-blind review process. CIoT’22 will also hold an industrial track. The industrial track gathers scholars and industrial participants to highlight practical and real-world studies and applications of cloud and IoT technologies. This track aims to foster cooperation between participants engaged in scientific research and practitioners working to improve the development of new cloud and IoT applications. Each submission should describe the problem addressed, the approach used, the current state of the project, an evaluation of the benefits or lessons learned, and future developments.

The Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN) is devoted to the mission of ensuring that the computing systems and networks on which society relies are dependable and secure. DSN, one of the longest running IEEE conferences organizing its 52nd edition in 2022, has pioneered the fusion between dependability and security research under a common body of knowledge, understanding the need to simultaneously fight against accidental faults, intentional cyber-attacks, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. Its distinctive approach to both accidental faults and malicious attacks made DSN the most prestigious international forum for presenting research furthering robustness and resilience of today’s wide spectrum of computing systems and networks. All aspects of the research and practice of dependability and applied security are within the scope of DSN. Relevant topics include innovative architectures, protocols, and algorithms, for preventing, detecting, recovering, diagnosing or eliminating accidental and malicious threats as well as experimentation with and assessment of dependable and secure systems and networks. Authors are invited to submit original papers on the current thematic areas of DSN: * Hardware (e.g., microprocessors, memories, system on chip, I/O devices, storage systems,Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)) * Software (e.g., applications, middleware, distributed algorithms, operating systems, software security) * Networked systems and clouds (e.g., wireless networks, mobility, software-defined networking, edge computing, cloud computing/storage, networks on chip, network security) * Autonomous systems (e.g, self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, assured autonomy, explainable decision making, acceptability) * Cyber-physical systems (e.g., embedded systems, real-time control of critical systems, internet of things, smart grid, automotive, aerospace, railway, medical systems) * Distributed ledgers/Blockchain (e.g., BFT/consensus algorithms, cryptocurrencies, decentralized storage, zero knowledge proofs,...) * AI/Machine Learning for resilient systems (e.g., resilient, secure, and explainable AI/Machine Learning techniques; applications of AI/ML techniques for dependability and security) * Models and methodologies for programming, evaluating, verifying, and assessing dependable and secure systems (e.g., performance and dependability evaluation, analytical and numerical methods, simulation, experimentation, benchmarking, verification, field data analysis) Information to authors ---------------------- Innovative papers in other areas of dependable and secure systems and networks will also be considered. Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category. The conference favors work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on experience with (or measurements of) state-of-the-art implementations. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness and impact. Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and Tool Descriptions will be refereed and included in the Proceedings of the DSN 2022, if accepted. All contributions must be written in English. IEEE Computer Society will publish accepted contributions. At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to register (as a regular registration) for the conference and present the work. Paper Categories ---------------- Submissions can be made in one of the following categories (authors are required to indicate the category as part of the paper’s title). Regular papers (11 pages): full paper describing research contribution, including experimental work focused on implementation and evaluation of existing techniques in the DSN thematic areas. Papers should clearly describe a novel scientific contribution and a significant advancement of the state of knowledge in DSN relevant topics. The paper should address a signiﬁcant problem with a compelling solution whose validity and practical applicability are clearly discussed. Practical experience reports (7 pages): a shorter paper describing practitioner experiences or lessons learned applying tools and techniques to real-world problems and systems, or based on the empirical analysis of field data using a rigorous scientific approach. A paper on this category is expected to show new insights and experiences informing the research and practice of dependability and resilient computing. Contributions reporting on industry practical experiences and lessons learned are highly encouraged, including studies reporting negative results or challenges about the practical applicability or scalability of research results in industry. Tool descriptions/demonstrations (7 pages): descriptions of the architecture, implementation and usage of substantive tools to aid the research and practice of dependability. A tool paper is expected to describe and demonstrate the value that the tool brings to the dependability community. Making the tool publicly available, whenever possible, is strongly encouraged. The number of pages indicated above includes everything except the references: title page, text, figures, appendices, etc. Papers that exceed the number of pages for that submission category will be rejected without review. Independently of the paper category, we expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable reproducibility of their experimental results and encourage authors, whenever possible, to make both the software developed in the experiments or datasets publicly available. Awards ------ DSN attributes a Best Paper Award to one of the accepted scientific papers. The selection of the candidate papers for the award is carried out first by the Program Committee that picks up to six of the accepted papers; then, the Steering Committee chooses among these six papers the three candidate papers to be presented in a special session at the conference; finally, the audience at the conference votes for the paper that should receive the award. DSN also attributes a group of awards based on nominations. These awards are the William C. Carter Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Dependability, the Rising Star in Dependability Award, the Test-of-Time Award, and the Jean-Claude Laprie Award.

Hier ist eine Möglichkeit *negative results* vorzustellen! Submission Deadline ist schon am 14.11. -------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] 2nd CfP: International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing (PerFail) within PerCom2022 Datum: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 19:52:48 +0100 Von: Nitinder Mohan <mohan(a)IN.TUM.DE> Antwort an: Nitinder Mohan <mohan(a)IN.TUM.DE> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** 1st International Workshop on Negative Results in Pervasive Computing [PerFail] (co-located with PerCom 2022) 21st March 2022; Pisa, Italy https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2022/ Not all research leads to fruitful results, trying new ways or methods may surpass the state of the art, but sometimes the hypothesis is not proven or the improvement is insignificant. But failure to succeed is not failure to progress and this workshop aims to create a platform for sharing insights, experiences, and lessons learned when conducting research in the area of pervasive computing. While the direct outcome of negative results might not contribute much to the field, the wisdom of hindsight could be a contribution itself, such that other researchers could avoid falling into similar pitfalls. We consider negative results to be studies that are run correctly (in the light of the current state of the art) and in good practice, but fail in terms of proving of the hypothesis or come up with no significance. The “badness” of the work can also come out as a properly but unfittingly designed data collection, or (non-trivial) lapses of hindsight especially in measurement studies. In this workshop, we invite submissions in different subtopics, including, but not limited to research in the fields of: * Studies with unconvincing results which could not be verified (e.g. due to lack of datasets) * Underperforming experiments due to oversights in system design, inadequate/misconfigured infrastructure, etc. * Research studies with setbacks resulting in lessons learnt and acquired hindsights (e.g. hypothesis with too limiting or too broad assumptions) * Unconventional, abnormal, or controversial results that contradict expectations of the community * Unexpected problems affecting publications, e.g. ethical concerns, institutional policy breaches, etc. * “Non-publishable” or “hard-to-publish” side-outcomes of the study, e.g . mis-trials of experiment methodology/design, preparations for proof-of-correctness of results, etc. ###Submissions### Paper submission will be managed via the EDAS system. The paper should not exceed 6 pages (overall, i.e., including references) in IEEE, 10pt font, 2-column format. For further information and a link to the submission system, please refer to https://perfail-workshop.github.io/2022/. Each accepted paper must be presented by one of the authors at the workshop. The papers accepted in the workshop will appear and be indexed in the IEEE digital libraries (Xplore). Please note that each accepted paper requires a full PerCom registration. ###Important Dates### * Submission deadline: 14 November 2021 * Notifications: 05 January 2022 * Camera-ready version & registration: 05 February 2022 * Workshop: 21st March 2022 Thanks and Regards Nitinder Mohan, Ella Peltonen and Peter Zdankin ______________________________________________________________ IEEE Communications Society Tech.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] Special Issue on Cloud-to-Thing in IIoT Datum: Fri, 5 Nov 2021 05:47:41 -0400 Von: Javier Berrocal <jberolm(a)UNEX.ES> Antwort an: Javier Berrocal <jberolm(a)UNEX.ES> An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG --- Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact Factor: 3.453)--- Special Issue on Intelligent Cloud-to-Thing continuum in Industrial IoT Scenarios --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The world is experiencing the latest industrial revolution. The development of pervasive systems and the ubiquitous connectivity has removed the boundaries between the physical and the virtual world allowing the implementation of the Industrial Internet of Things (Industrial IoT). Smart factories can effectively integrate autonomous machines with their business processes in order to exchange the sensed data, trigger actions and coordinate different machines towards a common goal. The new advances in the distribution of the computation (fog, edge and mist computing), the increase in the computing capacities of end devices (UAVs, robots, machines, etc.), the deployment of 5G / 6G networks, the artificial intelligence and the integration of humans-in-the-loop predict a bright future for Industrial IoT. However, these techniques are still in their infancy. New approaches are needed to identify how to orchestrate and distribute the computing processes and services of each industry in a multilayer computing infrastructure (cloud, fog, edge, or mist), how to intelligently perform that distribution based on the characteristics of the system and state of the network, how this distribution can support the digital twins of an industrial scenario, how to also integrate intelligence at the edge of the network to improve the decision making process, and how to integrate humans and their context into the production processes to adapt them to their needs.

The Annual IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks (DSN) is devoted to the mission of ensuring that the computing systems and networks on which society relies are dependable and secure. DSN, one of the longest running IEEE conferences organizing its 52nd edition in 2022, has pioneered the fusion between dependability and security research under a common body of knowledge, understanding the need to simultaneously fight against accidental faults, intentional cyber-attacks, design errors, and unexpected operating conditions. Its distinctive approach to both accidental faults and malicious attacks made DSN the most prestigious international forum for presenting research furthering robustness and resilience of today’s wide spectrum of computing systems and networks. All aspects of the research and practice of dependability and applied security are within the scope of DSN. Relevant topics include innovative architectures, protocols, and algorithms, for preventing, detecting, recovering, diagnosing or eliminating accidental and malicious threats as well as experimentation with and assessment of dependable and secure systems and networks. Authors are invited to submit original papers on the current thematic areas of DSN: * Hardware (e.g., microprocessors, memories, system on chip, I/O devices, storage systems,Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs)) * Software (e.g., applications, middleware, distributed algorithms, operating systems, software security) * Networked systems and clouds (e.g., wireless networks, mobility, software-defined networking, edge computing, cloud computing/storage, networks on chip, network security) * Autonomous systems (e.g, self-driving vehicles, autonomous robots, assured autonomy, explainable decision making, acceptability) * Cyber-physical systems (e.g., embedded systems, real-time control of critical systems, internet of things, smart grid, automotive, aerospace, railway, medical systems) * Distributed ledgers/Blockchain (e.g., BFT/consensus algorithms, cryptocurrencies, decentralized storage, zero knowledge proofs,...) * AI/Machine Learning for resilient systems (e.g., resilient, secure, and explainable AI/Machine Learning techniques; applications of AI/ML techniques for dependability and security) * Models and methodologies for programming, evaluating, verifying, and assessing dependable and secure systems (e.g., performance and dependability evaluation, analytical and numerical methods, simulation, experimentation, benchmarking, verification, field data analysis) Information to authors ---------------------- Innovative papers in other areas of dependable and secure systems and networks will also be considered. Papers will be assessed with criteria appropriate to each category. The conference favors work that explores new territory, continues a significant research dialogue, or reflects on experience with (or measurements of) state-of-the-art implementations. Submissions will be judged on originality, significance, correctness and impact. Research Papers, Practical Experience Reports, and Tool Descriptions will be refereed and included in the Proceedings of the DSN 2022, if accepted. All contributions must be written in English. IEEE Computer Society will publish accepted contributions. At least one author of every accepted paper is expected to register (as a regular registration) for the conference and present the work. Paper Categories ---------------- Submissions can be made in one of the following categories (authors are required to indicate the category as part of the paper’s title). Regular papers (11 pages): full paper describing research contribution, including experimental work focused on implementation and evaluation of existing techniques in the DSN thematic areas. Papers should clearly describe a novel scientific contribution and a significant advancement of the state of knowledge in DSN relevant topics. The paper should address a signiﬁcant problem with a compelling solution whose validity and practical applicability are clearly discussed. Practical experience reports (7 pages): a shorter paper describing practitioner experiences or lessons learned applying tools and techniques to real-world problems and systems, or based on the empirical analysis of field data using a rigorous scientific approach. A paper on this category is expected to show new insights and experiences informing the research and practice of dependability and resilient computing. Contributions reporting on industry practical experiences and lessons learned are highly encouraged, including studies reporting negative results or challenges about the practical applicability or scalability of research results in industry. Tool descriptions/demonstrations (7 pages): descriptions of the architecture, implementation and usage of substantive tools to aid the research and practice of dependability. A tool paper is expected to describe and demonstrate the value that the tool brings to the dependability community. Making the tool publicly available, whenever possible, is strongly encouraged. The number of pages indicated above includes everything except the references: title page, text, figures, appendices, etc. Papers that exceed the number of pages for that submission category will be rejected without review. Independently of the paper category, we expect all papers to provide enough detail to enable reproducibility of their experimental results and encourage authors, whenever possible, to make both the software developed in the experiments or datasets publicly available. Awards ------ DSN attributes a Best Paper Award to one of the accepted scientific papers. The selection of the candidate papers for the award is carried out first by the Program Committee that picks up to six of the accepted papers; then, the Steering Committee chooses among these six papers the three candidate papers to be presented in a special session at the conference; finally, the audience at the conference votes for the paper that should receive the award. DSN also attributes a group of awards based on nominations. These awards are the William C. Carter Ph.D. Dissertation Award in Dependability, the Rising Star in Dependability Award, the Test-of-Time Award, and the Jean-Claude Laprie Award.

Recent works have demonstrated the challenges of coordinating multiple robots in order to deploy robot networks with self-configuration and self-healing capabilities to guarantee service continuity, also in case of failures. Starting from the unique requirements of a multi robot system, Swarm Robotics is a complex approach that requires an understanding of how to define distributed systems to define self-organization behaviors. Swarm Robotics studies how to make robots collaborate and collectively solve a task where every robot contributes to the general task sharing the same higher-level objectives. To this end, communication wireless networks must be specifically designed in order to support the cooperation and collaboration inside the swarm. This workshop invites original research articles and review articles that focus on communication networking problems in swarm robotics. =========================== TOPICS =========================== - Communication Models and Protocols for Swarm Robotics - Delay-Tolerant Applications for Swarm Robotics - Fog and Edge Computing in Swarm Robotics - 5G Integration with Swarm Robotics - Integration of Unmanned Aerial, Ground, and Underwater Vehicles in Swarm Robotics - Localization, Navigation, and Dynamic Path Planning in Swarm Robotics - Cooperative Control of Multiple Robots - Security and Privacy in Swarm Robotics - The Internet of Things (IoT) in Swarm Robotics - Swarm Intelligence and Nature-Inspired Algorithm in Swarm Robotics - Artificial Intelligence Applications in Swarm Robotics - Continual Learning and Adaptation for Swarm Robotics - Novel applications for Swarm Robotics =========================== IMPORTANT DATES =========================== - Submission deadline (extended): *November 8th, 2021* - Notification: *November 15th, 2021* - Camera-ready: *December 1st, 2021* - Presentation: *January 8th, 2022* =========================== FEATURES =========================== - Best Paper Award (BPA) sponsored by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII) with a cash prize of *1,000 Euro* =========================== ORGANIZING COMMITTEE =========================== General Chairs: - Angelo Trotta, University of Bologna, Italy - Gökhan Seçinti, Istanbul Technical University, Turkey - Nicola Roberto Zema, University of Paris-Saclay, France - Zhangyu Guan, University at Buffalo, USA Technical Program Committee (to be completed): - Atakan Aral, Vienna University of Technology, Austria - Brian M.

-------- Ursprüngliche Nachricht -------- Von: Zhuozhao Li <zl5uq(a)VIRGINIA.EDU> Gesendet: 18. Oktober 2021 04:23:34 MESZ An: tccc-announce(a)COMSOC.ORG Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] [CFP] The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) [Apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP] ============================================================================ ======= The 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing (ICFEC 2022) May 16, 2022, Taormina (Messina), Italy in conjunction with IEEE/ACM CCGrid 2022 URL: https://icfec2022.eecis.udel.edu/ ============================================================================ ======= We are delighted to invite you to the 6th IEEE International Conference on Fog and Edge Computing to be held in Taormina (Messina), Italy. INTRODUCTION The number of Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices is predicted to reach 38.6 billion by 2025. These connected devices, ranging from user devices to more complex systems, such as vehicles and power grids, are equipped with sensing, actuating, communication, processing, and storage capabilities, and they generate huge amounts of data of various types. However, the need to operate the scale of heterogeneous IoT devices while being performance-efficient in real-time is challenging. Typically, the data generated by the IoT devices are transferred to and processed centrally by services hosted on geographically distant clouds. This is untenable given the communication latency incurred and the ingress bandwidth demand. A new and disruptive paradigm spear-headed by academics and industry experts is taking shape so that applications can leverage resources located at the edge of the network and along the continuum between the cloud and the edge. These edge resources may be geographically or in the network topology closer to IoT devices, such as home routers, gateways, or more substantial micro data centers. Edge resources may be used to offload selected services from the cloud to accelerate an application or to host edge-native applications. The paradigm within which the edge is harnessed is referred to as "Fog/Edge computing". The Fog/Edge computing paradigm is expected to improve the agility of service deployments, to allow the usage of opportunistic and cheap computing, and to leverage the network latency and bandwidth diversities between these resources. Numerous challenges arise when using edge resources, which require the re-examination of operating systems, virtualization and containers, and middleware techniques for fabric management. New abstractions and extensions to current programming and storage models are necessary to allow developers to design novel applications that can benefit from massively distributed and data-driven edge systems. Addressing security, privacy, and trust of the edge resources is of paramount importance while managing the resources and context of mobile, transient and hardware-constrained resources. The integration of edge computing and 5G will also bring new opportunities and unique challenges. Enabling machine/deep learning at the edge is critical for many applications. Lastly, emerging domains like autonomous vehicles and smart health need to be supported by fog and edge resources. CALL FOR PAPERS The conference seeks to attract high-quality contributions covering both theory and practice over systems research and emerging domain-specific applications related to next-generation distributed systems that use the edge and the fog. Some representative topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Data centers and infrastructures for fog/edge computing * Mobility management in fog/edge computing * Distributed and federated machine learning in the fog and on the edge * 5G and fog/edge computing * Middleware and runtime systems for fog/edge infrastructures * Programming models for fog/edge computing * Storage and data management platforms for fog/edge computing * Scheduling and resource management for fog/edge infrastructures * Security, privacy, trust and provenance issues in fog/edge computing * Distributed consensus and blockchains at the edge and in the fog * Modeling and simulation of fog/edge environments * Performance monitoring and metering of fog/edge infrastructures * Innovative, latency-sensitive and locality-critical applications of fog/edge computing SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS We invite original manuscripts that have neither been published elsewhere nor are under review at a different venue.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [TCCC-ANNOUNCE] IEEE TNSM - Special Issue on “Design Reliable Communication Networks” - Deadline Approaching (Nov. 1st) Datum: Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:13:29 +0000 Von: Massimo Tornatore <massimo.tornatore(a)POLIMI.IT> Antwort an: Massimo Tornatore <massimo.tornatore(a)POLIMI.IT> An: tccc-announce(a)comsoc.org Sorry for multiple postings! IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management Special Issue on “Recent Advances in the Design and Management of Reliable Communication Networks” Reliability of communication infrastructures is a top priority for network operators. To ensure reliable network operation, new design and management techniques must be constantly devised to respond to the rapid network and service evolution. As a recent and relevant example, deployments of 5G communication networks will soon enter their second phase, during which the network infrastructure will require upgrades to support new Ultra-Reliable services with availability of up to 6 nines. Similarly, disaster resiliency in communication networks is now attracting the attention of media, governments and industry as never before (consider, e.g., the worldwide network traffic deluge to support remote working during the current COVID19-pandemic!). Luckily, several new technical directions can be leveraged to provide new solutions for network reliability such as for example: increased network reconfigurability enabled by Software Defined Networking (SDN); integration/convergence of multiple technologies (optical, wireless, satellite, datacenter networks); enhanced forms of data/service replication, supported by, e.g., edge computing; network slicing, used to carve highly-reliable logical partitions of network, computing and storage resources. These, and many other technological transformations can enable next-generation high-reliability networks. Given the strong interest in both industry and academia towards reliability of telecom networks and cloud-computing infrastructures, we organize this IEEE TNSM Special Issue as a second Special Issue as part of a Series on Design and Management of Reliable Networks. in IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management, with the first issue published in September 2021. The Special Issue aims at the timely publication of recent and innovative research results on this important topic. This Special Issue is organized in collaboration with the International Conference on the Design of Reliable Communication Networks (DRCN), which was held in April this year. DRCN is a well-established forum for scientists from both industry and academy who have interest in reliability and availability of communication networks. As such, this Special Issue will also invite top-scored DRCN papers to share excellent results and new challenges in the field of reliable communication networks and services. We welcome submissions addressing important challenges (see the non-exhaustive list of topics below) and presenting novel research or experimentation results. Survey papers that offer a perspective on related work and identify key challenges for future research will be considered as well. We look forward to your submissions!
